What were the total earnings of Shafali Verma during the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup including associated contracts and prize money?
Shafali Verma earned big during the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup. She gets around INR 6 lakhs as match fees for every ODI she plays and holds a BCCI Grade B contract that pays her about INR 30 lakhs annually.
When India won the World Cup, the team took home prize money of about USD 4.48 million (roughly INR 40 crore) from the ICC. This amount was shared among players, including Shafali. In addition, the BCCI announced an extra cash prize of ₹51 crore for the entire team, which was also divided among all players.
The 2025 Women’s World Cup victory had a completely different energy. The confidence, the celebrations, the way everyone was glued to the screen. It felt like a new chapter for women’s cricket in India. And Shafali Verma brought that fearless attitude right from the first ball.
The total reward pool, combining ICC prize money and BCCI bonus, was around ₹90 crore. When that pool is divided among the core players in the XI, key performers like Shafali generally receive around ₹6 crore to ₹6.5 crore from tournament payouts.
On top of that, Shafali is already one of the most recognizable young cricketers in the country. Her bat sponsorships, sportswear partnerships and brand campaigns during that period would add another ₹80 lakh to ₹1.5 crore.
So her total earnings around the 2025 World Cup likely fall in the range of ₹6.8 crore to ₹8 crore.
And beyond the money, the win itself was special. The celebration, the atmosphere, the pride across the country. It was a moment that felt bigger than sport.
